It's been six long years between albums for Melbourne trio Something For Kate. In that time, frontman Paul Dempsey released a solo album, had a son with partner/bassist Stephanie Ashworth and drummer Clint Hyndman opened two bars in their native Melbourne. Now they've returned with their impressive sixth record 'Leave Your Soul To Science', which Dempsey describes as "a lot freer and looser".

On the eve of their Australian tour, we chatted to Paul about how parenthood's made him a better musician, the best show he's ever seen and what he thinks is "the most beautiful thing on Earth". Plus he treated us to a special performance of 'Survival Expert' -- watch it above.
